Did I mention that the gingerbread dough that I made yesterday weighs approximately 6 pounds?
Well, I have now.

Don't eat it all!

I think Monk meant for you to write things down so you can spot a potential pattern and also hidden things that you wouldnt think of or even notice on their own. You are doing really good. Why? You are aware and you care. However, dont worry so much. Stress and anxiety exacerbate things.

Thank you that makes sense! And yeah, I’m working on that last part cause I am definitely way too stressed out all the time some of it can’t be helped, like the source of it, but some of it I’m sure is a mind set or habit and either way, I need better ways to deal with things I actually have been guilty of using ice cream/junk for that before. but I’ve been working on that. I’ve been trying to walk more lately but now it’s so cold I’m having to find other places to walk.

You can do it on your phone too. Just use your Notes app or you can even message yourself.

I wouldn’t have thought of that idk why cause I use Notes for tons else

All that will get written down sometime today.... And on a separate page (or the back side of the "today page").... Then as things float to the surface of you conscious awareness then, too you will add it to the notebook. This is not an every day type thing ... It's an "as you think of it" thing in prep for next doc. Zoom/email/ visit.....

Ah that makes sense! Not sure when the next visit will be, probably in the new year sometime at this point but idk. I’m trying to get into a few other ones too.

.... Follow up before I forget. This is stuff you jot down in a few seconds to a couple of minutes each time. NOT 45 minutes to 3 hrs slaving over a pot of water 10 gallons deep on the cooktop....

I had never heard this analogy before but I love it!

I have so many pounds of dough right now. Going to start baking tomorrow. Pray for me.

I just finished making all of the dough. About 13 pounds, closer to 14.
Hoo, boy.
I should not be left to make seasonal desserts unsupervised.

I added another cookie to my list this year. They will probably be made last, but before the chocolate-peanut butter pretzel bars and fudge.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have an example of one of the famous "KDOGG novels," fresh off the keyboard....
